...if they work for the street then they'll work for an autocross. only question is how well will they work as compared to ??? other street tires / slicks / ??????

If you're looking to learn more about your car, then the tires will work. Keep the same tire pressure or a little more that you would normally run, and go have some fun. When you really want to get serious then take a look at the rule book an see what you want to do within your own limitations.

Have fun!!!

Default 345's

The important thing is that the rim is within the tire manufacturers specs.
A tire too wide for a rim size is actually prohibitive to the tires performance.

The Invo is a great tire for street and autocross.. I'm currently running the 345/30/19 on the rear of my Z06. Note these tires in 345 are very close to GY in 325 section width (i.e. they are a very good fit on OEM rims).

I run 29-30 psi cold and these are some of the best street tires I've ever run on..

I'm also very very impressed with the wear characteristics. they wear very evenly, do not chunk at all, and have very predictable handling.

You won't regret trying them out for your next set of dual use street/autocross and even road course!
